Sort of. I'm trying to understand all the bells and whistles regarding the Verizon M8. Go a lot of reading to do. :good: It seems I caught the train little late and now i'm affraid to end with a brick in my hand. :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The hardware is the same, but the critical differences are the partitioning is different (VZN versus most other versions) and the kernel is different.

The kernel is the key reason some ROMs won't work on the VZN version. Flash a ROM with the proper kernel, and it will work. ROMs the explicitly support VZN M8 will install the proper kernel. You can also flash the right kernel manually, but that may be outside your skill/comfort level at this time.

Also, as ckpv5 mentioned, don't manually flash a firmware.zip or radio to the phone, as if flash another version's firmware, you will permanently damage the device due to the partition differences I mentioned above.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrego:
Thanks redpoint73. With my old european One S never had any problems. Can I transform my VZN in an international HTC M8? Is there an easy way to do it? That's all I want to do. Free my phone. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There is no way to do that. For the same reason why we warned about about not flashing international firmware. Its not compatible, and the VZN version can't be converted.

What exactly do you want to change? Flashing a custom ROM will remove VZN branding. And there are ways to unlock bands on the VZN version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrego:
Thanks once again redpoint.

Can I install this ROM? http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/rom-nusenseven-marshmallow-sense-7-t3266678

It's Marshmallow and Sense 7 and it seems like an upgrade regarding the current 5.0.1 and Sense 6 original ROM, or should wait for an official Marshmallow Firmware from Verizon?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, it should be fine.

Be sure to make a backup in TWRP before flashing, just in case you run into problems and need to revert.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrego:
I allways have a TWRP backup. I'm going to do another one, of the Verizon ROM (almost 6 Gb???), and try that ROM. :good: :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, if you backup system (ROM), boot.img, and data, its going to take up a lot of space.

But that's what you want, if you want to be able to take a full "snapshot" of your current ROM and user data.

Good for you! You'd be amazed at how many folks skip this crucial step (one which I consider basically mandatory)!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrego:
I've successfuly installed the NuSenSeveN ROM. :D

Boomsound is activated so i think i do not need to install the HK/BS/JBL Switcher, right?

Do you recommend install M8vzw_Marshmallow_hboot_6.12.1540.4.zip? Boot seems fast enough.

I use System app remover from Jumobile but it fails to install Twitter, Google Play Films and other bloatware. Do you know why?

Next thing is to install xposed framework. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not familiar with that zip. Can you link to where you found it? If its indeed just the bootloader, I wouldn't bother messing with it. The bootloader hasn't changed version number (at least not significantly) since KitKat 4.4.4.

I'm not too familiar with the particular ROM, so I can't really help with your other questions, either.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmrego:
I've tried nusenseven rom but it seems to have some problems. Radio FM stoped working, couldn't stream from kodi to phone, some apps not compatible with marshmallow (GPS apps), so i've decided to return to stock ROM. Here's the link to the rom: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/rom-nusenseven-marshmallow-sense-7-t3266678

It seems better to wait for a marshmallow verizon rom update.

Many, many thanks for your help., once again. :good:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dragon_76:
All apps that use DirectDraw on the Mogul seem to be REALLY slow or choppy. I have heard about people disabling it and forcing GDI and getting MUCH better performance. How?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] rijc99:
Which apps? I believe the option to choose between direct draw and GDI are app specific. *Emphasis on BELIEVE... not too sure.

ie, TCPMP has a menu option which gives you the option to choose GDI instead of direct draw.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] betulike2know:
How about on VTap???????????
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dfrank:
I wish I knew how as well

Windows Media Player (w/ higher res videos) & SlingPlayer Mobile are 2 programs that use DirectDraw and are both choppy and video quality is not up to par with the 6700.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dragon_76:
vTap is the main app I am having problems with. If you continually tap the screen while a video is playing you get bouts of smooth video after you tap on it, so it's clearly not the hardware that can't keep up but rather a driver. I still use vTap constantly for its excellent Wikipedia feature.

Hey XDA!

Here's something I've been working on for a while, inspired by all the police harassment incidents on the news, I figured it would be nice to have an app that helps citizens fight back.

Rewind allows you to passively record your surroundings. This app continuously runs in the background and records everything your phone hears, allowing you to save recent recording when you hear something you would like to keep.

You can record from within the app, or you can start a recording by toggling the app notification (you can disable this in the settings).

This app is useful for:

- Recording moments you would have otherwise missed

- Surveillance and recording harassment

- Brainstorming

- Recording notes and memos

Did you wish you could rewind time? Capture those moments before you miss them. Get Rewind now!

Google Play Store

Source code available here!

i want to install zombie kernel in order to have Double tap to wake feature enabled

/my Questions: will i lose my rom after unloacking ? and if i lost it can i restore it from a back-up done by TWRP after unlocking the bootloader ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyramid Head:
No you wont lose your rom but it wouldnt hurt making a backup from recovery and copying it at your pc...

Do not flash the kernel from recovery, I dont know if you are a newcomer but to flash a new kernel you have to do it throught flashtool.

EDIT: Ohh you meant if you are going to lose all user data after you unlocked the bootloader..?? Then the answer is yes.

PS: As I did you are going to get bored of double tap to wake really soon!_! Mark my words.

I know the usa uses MM.DD.YY where overseas it's primarily DD.MM.YY but in titles especially for ambiguous dates like 01.02.2016/02.01.2016 it gets really confusing (at least for me)...is there an agreed upon joint format both sides use such as YY/MM/DD?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
I follow this format: DD/MM/YY

I have always followed it,and I always disliked the MM/DD/YY format.

Common sense,at least for me,declares the following definition of time:

seconds<minutes<hours<days<months<years

thus making the DD/MM/YY the best choice

Although,the MM/DD/YY format has a sense of the following kind:

12

months<

31

(max) days<well..."

unlimited

" years

This one is my own guess xD
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
YY/MM/DD works for everyone and allows no confusions of dates to occur. 01/03/2016 being either jan 3rd or march 1st depending on who is writing it is simply confusing. In browsing the other forums I don't see your methodology being followed. You'll continue to do as you wish. I'm just stating for everyone in the USA it's confusing. If the day > 12 obviously it's then a non issue.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
I was raised in Croatia,where we use the DD/MM/YY format,and it is also followed in Bosnia and Herzegovina,Serbia,Greece,Slovenia,Germany(okay,its format is DD/MONTH/YY - ex. 23. Mai 2015), and maybe in other countries in Europe.

I dont know why there isnt a universal date format,but I will adapt my thread dates so that everybody can know which date they actually show. :cyclops:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
That's very accomodating of you. The 23 may 2015 would be clear too. You'd think they could have fixed this crap back during all the year 2000 stuff huh?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] fancymans:
Hi Everyone,

Today I was notified of 2 Play Store app updates that might mean that 6.0 is literally coming very very soon. The Sony Lifelog app got a new material design as well as a new app icon. Smart Connect also got an Android M compatibility update. Since it was rumored that they had a kernel build compiled back in January, that just means that they needed to fix some stock app issues. It's wishful thinking but I think we can look forward to the coming days/weeks when this finally releases OTA. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reigns1989:
Hi,

I am using the Alcatel One Touch Pro 3 and had installed KingRoot to remove some bloatware. Once the bloatware was removed i tried to use Supersume to move to Supersu and it broke my root. I restored Android to factory settings, reinstored Kingroot, then it allowed to remove the root and the app.

I now however can download updates again, but when i try to install i get the following on my screen with the android dude and a warning logo:

Error!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enkidu70:
Hi all,

since I am on CM13 some of my scripts did not work as expected any more. I discovered this was because my new rom uses toybox instead of busybox. >> read more

Maybe someone else has the same problems. So here my solution.

I wrote a small (flashable) script that combines best of both and makes sure that there are no conflicts between.

Disclaimer:

As usual, you use it on your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device! :D

Make a Nandroid backup of your system before you flash/execute this script!!!

Prerequisit:

Busybox and toybox are already installed on your device!

(At least busybox + toybox binary have to be located in /system/bin and/or /system/xbin.)

Note: if your rom already comes with busybox instead of toybox, you do not need this script and should not use it!

What does it do? How does it work?

First, it makes sure that toybox is completely installed.

Then it will install all applets from busybox that are not already installed by toybox.

Finally it will make sure to use most compatible commands from bb/tb

Installation:

Copy ZIP to your device and flash it with TWRP recovery or compatible.

- or -

Extract install.sh from ZIP, copy it to your device and execute it as root.

Download:

BB-TB-Merger.zip

Busybox 1.24.1 ARM or use any other suitable version.

Changelog:

## 11.02.2016 v1.0 Initial version
## 12.02.2016 v1.1 + Keep original executables, replace only if forced
## + Use gzip from BB!
## + Code cleanup

Have fun,

Enkidu
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enkidu70:
Why this merger?

When I switched to CM13 I noticed that some of my shell scripts were broken. The reason was, some commands did not work as expected or were just missing. This seems to be because toybox is not as complete as busybox and also has some differences. Just flashing BB over TB also resulted in various problems, so this was also not the solution!

So I thought why not using best from both!? And a short while later, BB-TB-Merger was born! :D

Currently I found the following differences:

Toybox offers around 170 applets/command, busybox around 390!

TB version of head & tail do not really work. BB version does!

BB whoami does returns "whoami: unknown uid 0" instead of "root"

BB "mount -o rw,remount" does not work on my devcie. TB ones does...

BB gzip seems to be smoother.. :)

And I am sure some more. So if you know further differences, please report them here! Tnx!

Have fun,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ibuprophen:
[MENTION=4943068]enkidu70[/MENTION], it looks as though BusyBox is currently locating ToyBox and Symlink's to it.

[HTC Tornado] Lemark:
Andot released several ROMs for Tornado in a Chinese forum. I don't know if anybody has already posted it. The system font is Yahei.

For Tornado without WiFi (SPV C600 etc):

http://www.coolcode.cn/andot/wm6-for-c600-chinese-and-english-version-released

With WiFi (577w and 586w versions provided seperately):

http://www.coolcode.cn/andot/wm6-for-577w-586w-chinese-and-english-version-released

I tried to translate andot's explanations which originally are in Chinese:

This version is based on the Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado perfect chinese V2

* Added english support.

* Deleted customer feedback.

* Deleted Celetask (Replaced with IA Task Manager, Celetask English and Chinese cab files are provided in the attachment).

* Deleted WM5torage (WM5torage English and Chinese versions' cab files are provided separately in the attachment).

* Deleted Registryeditor and Multi flashlight.

* Deleted some useless files and registry entries, system is optimized even more.

* Keypad drive is either that of C600 or 577W and 586W in corresponding ROMs.

* Defined shortcuts.

* Fixed MidiaPlayer not playing Midi problem.

* Default input is M$ ABC.

* Power management is activated by default. This results in longer standby time.

* Added whether or not to charge via USB option. You can find it in Settings> Power Management.

* Added Internet Explorer shortcut setting, you can find it in Settings>internet Explorer ->Shortcut.

* Added Internet Explorer advanced option, you can find it in “Settings->Internet Explorer->Advanced Option”.

* Added Start Menu setting. You can find it in "Settings->Start Menu".

* Looping alarm by default.

* Fixed Shutdown screen (it is different from that of Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado perfect Chinese V2).

* Deleted all the WiFi related options and programs (this is SPV C600 and the like only).

* Deleted Internet Calling.

* Deleted SQL Mobile 2005。

* Deleted Wireless manager (comm manager?).

* Deleted Downlaod Manager.

* Optimized the size of some picture and sound files.

* Added MsYahei ClearType font (3MB and 10MB of size in different versions)

(Sorry for the translation. Neither my Chinese nor my english is good enough to render it perfectly.:))
[HTC Tornado] burkay:
I hope andot gives an explanation of what is new in these roms.
[HTC Tornado] imthewa1rus:
well, since I'm such a flash-a-holic, I went ahead and flashed the WM6.for.577w.chs.eng.cleartype-20070920 version . . .

took me a bit to figure out how to get it into english, but now it really doesn't seem all to different from andot's earlier "perfect english edition" feature wise.

not really worth flashing in my opinion, but I'm just antsy waiting for phil to release his beta II.

Any questions about this rom that I can try to answer? Tomorrow on my way to work I'll try out the A2DP and see if it sucks.

I really need to sleep now . . almost 3am.
[HTC Tornado] Pop5k:
Yeas, I've got some questions:

Does the joystick light up the screen/backlight while the keypad is locked?

If so, how long does the screen stay on?

Does the unlock screen feature the clock/date?

And something you might not be able to answer:

What's up with the "cleartype" roms?

Why do they come in 2 variants (3M and 10M)?

Cheers! :)
[HTC Tornado] imthewa1rus:
Joystick does not light up screen/backlight.

Unlock screen does have date/time

You're right about me not being able to answer the others, the text looks nice, the soft button text is pretty small/thin. Not sure how the old rom looked.

There are a few things going through the menus that are still in chinese. Like when I setup my moto ht820, that was all in chinese, and btw, the a2dp is the same as his p.e.e. rom . . . high freq distortion for me :'-(

Not too sure what you mean about the 3M and 10M.

I went here http://download.coolcode.cn/dopod577w/wm6/

and got WM6.for.577w.chs.eng.cleartype-20070920.zip

hope that helps!
